I know the path of healing that I have created. Born two months early, I haven't ever, consistently and truly felt safe. My nervous system didn't have true co-regulation, and my mom had to stay in a different hospital. Growing up in a loud family (lots of yelling), and then having people's imposed high expectations to become my own perfectionism. We can only push for so long...

My crash came almost 10 years ago, I was an alcoholic with depression, and became so shame-filled and overwhelmed, I attempted suicide. My bottom was low. My goal is to help people begin to learn to slowly titrate a safe co-regulative space, which begins with small cues of safety, becoming safe enough to trust, and as I draw their own resources from within them, they learn how to notice, name, and get to know parts of themselves they may not even think about; those learned pattern from childhood. I have landed and stayed in recovery, and I also understand the need to numb out the overwhelm feels incredibly dangerous, because of the stress it causes in our system. And because the mind and body are energetically connected, so we need to work with both. My passion is from experience, and my mission is to create safety in individuals, communities, schools... to build less reactivity between us, reaching wider and wider audiences, to create openness and stop 'us vs them'. Humans are messy. So, lets create a safe container where we can be messy with each other.
